Sonic RDX Update

Neat little update, I isolated emerald coast segment 0's loading cue. It has roughly 480 objects in it. I'll have detailed notes on this, hedgehog hammer, and the uv coordinates as soon as I have a usb drive for getting the notes off my computer and onto this one. I also started finding things from the sadx preview debug mode in the pc version (sky setting, clip setting, fog and stuff).

jeztac takes a whack at son_eff.pvm

 

Now for my next trick: Here's the latest version of my docs folder, which I add notes to every time I discover something in the game.
http://x-hax.cultnet.net/Docs

in it, you'll find various useful pieces, such as this one being my latest major discovery:

Code (Text):

1. Emerald Coast loader part 1 BEGIN : 11115704
2. Emerald Coast loader part 1 END: 11098424
3. Emerald Coast part 1 has 480 objects total
4.  
5. Emerald Coast loader part 2 BEGIN: 12820124
6. Emerald Coast loader part 2 END: 12814040
7.  
8. Emerald Coast loader part 3 BEGIN: 12814004
9. Emerald Coast loader part 3 END: 12806840
10.  
11.  
12. 11115708 - some kind of texture reference (dword)
13.  
14. 11115712 - float (3000.0)
15. 11115716 - pointer to load END (11098424)
16. 11115720 - null (dword)
17. 11115724 - null (dword)
18. 11115728 - pointer  -> 12063404 -> 12062168 -> 4109132 (textures)
19.  
20. Also of note, the data appearing immediately after this appears to be a bunch of clean floats. Autoloop? Lighting? I'll research more.
21.  
22. Some of this data appears to be synonymous with data available in the sadx preview debugger, like skybox and viewport clipping parameters.
23.  
24. [cliplevel=0]
25. 11115743 - X scale for the skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 1.45
26. 11115748 - X scale for the skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 1.23
27. 11115752 - X scale for the skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 1.11
28.  
29. [cliplevel=1]
30. 11115756 - X scale for the skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 0.72500002
31. 11115760 -Y scale for the skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 0.61500001
32. 11115764 - Z scale for the skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 0.55500001
33.  
34. [cliplevel=2]
35. 11115768 - X scale for the skybox in segment 0 (float); default is 0.43500003
36. 11115772 - Y scale for skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 0.36900002
37. 11115776 - Z scale for skybox in seg 0 (float); default is 0.333
38.  
39. Somewhere in this random mess of floats between 11115852 and 11116704 lies the view distance data, and the information that dictates how the skybox and water levels move in relation to eachother. Start zeroing out stuff for weird effects.
40.  
41. 11115780 - ??? (float);
42. 11115784 - ??? (float);
43. 11115788 - ??? (float;)
44.  
45. 11115936 - ??? (float)
46. 11115940 - ??? (float)
47.  
48. [cliplevel=2]
49. 11115944 - x view distance (negative float)
50. 11115944 - (-1)
51. 11115952 - y view distance (negative)
52.  
53.  
54. Random float data stops at 11116128, then picks up again at 11116192. Then a pointer index occurs at 11116704
55. Each pointer entry is 0c bytes long, and the entire index is 0x438, therefore there are 90 entries
56. Pointer index END: 11116704
57. Pointer index BEGIN: 11117784
58. Upon closer inspection, this pointer index points to texture entries. There are also bits of the old debugger lying around here, mostly just object parameters and similar bits.

 

bamp. youtube video. Ice cap this time, just a preview of part 2 in its more completed state than before.

oh and a preview of the new emerald coast edit:

 

Also, we have a message board up on the x-hax site. Go visit it and pester me to work harder.

 

Right, I haven't started on the dreamcast version. There will be one though, it'll be simply a downgraded copy of the pc version.

Also, a bit of a request - I need someone who is good with 3d math and matrices to help me with understanding some data.
